Cariboni : let ’ s colour the nights of our cities
When used consciously , coloured light in the urban context can improve the well-being of citizens . Neuroscience has ����������������������������������������� �������������������������������������������� ��������������������������������������������� reactions and behavioural responses . Illuminating the nocturnal urban landscape with colour can stimulate emotions such as fascination , involvement and fondness towards the illuminated space . These emotions improve the urban mood and encourage interaction among people , thus promoting a good level of urban sociability , which is essential to the vitality and liveability of a city . Not only does colourful light connect space and community , it is also a powerful storytelling tool . Colours possess an eloquent semantic dimension and can communicate meanings that , while varying over time and space , represent a shared language within a community . It is then fair to ask why our cities are predominantly illuminated with white lights . It is not just a question of energy saving or cultural heritage . The spectral distribution of white light is wider than that of coloured light , and therefore better in terms of visual performance and colour rendering . White light , apart from its colour temperature , is always the ideal choice for illuminating vehicular roads , as it improves visibility at night for motorists and makes it easier to discern pedestrians and obstacles . However , cities are not just for cars . We could think of colouring
spaces and paths not intended for motorised ��������������������� It is worth remembering that white light is also the best way to render the colours of the city as faithfully as possible . But nonetheless , no matter how well we design the lighting , the night perception of urban space will always be ���������������������������������������������� give up the frustrating attempt to imitate with ������������������������������������������������ accept the challenge of designing an aesthetic ������������������������������������������������ with light ? And why not use the colours for which we have an ancestral attraction ? We created Kinetic to illuminate and colour city spaces dedicated to people and not vehicles . In particular , we thought of all those outdoor but covered spaces intended for passage such as porches , balconies or subways . These spaces , at the boundary between indoors and outdoors , are particularly complex as they can include surfaces that are vertical , horizontal or inclined , and curved , full , diaphanous or punctuated by openings . ����������������������������������������� photo © Daniele Cortese
������������������������������������������������ environments , it is worthwhile to have a single luminaire with a dual light emission , each of ������������������������������������������� Kinetic can be equipped with one ( Kinetic 1 ) or two light modules ( Kinetic 2 ), and both ������������������������������������� options , light distributions and dimming possibilities . In addition to static white light versions ( 2200K , 2700K , 3000K , 4000K ), there are also dynamic white light versions ( 2200K to 4000K ) and RGBW colour-changing versions ( 3000K ). Colour-changing light lends a place a dynamic identity that can be adjusted to meet needs . The colour of light can change to adapt to seasonal colour variations , promote events , signal an anniversary , emphasise architectural elements , make an urban space more attractive or ����������������������������������������������� choose a precise colour or tonal gradation of light . ������������������������������������������ an end to the chromatic minimalism that pervades our cities .
